I live in Europe so I’m generally happy with our political system. If I ever was to argue democracy is a bad idea - I would probably start with India as an example why it doesn’t work... I understand that personal preferences may vary and people on HN probably enjoy a good portion of China bashing; but if I had to chose - it would always be China over India for me. Healthcare, education, social mobility, equality between men and women, legal system: I can’t think of any reason why I would prefer India over China. I’m happy that thanks to Modi there now are toilets in India - but there is a lot to catch up still... China has lifted more people out of poverty than the rest of the world combined. In 2018, almost 1000 people got killed by police in the US. Not a great statistic either...
